Description

Chateau Cos d'Estournel 2005St. Estephe
owc
Magnum (6)

"It boasts an inky/purple color as well as a glorious perfume of
licorice, Asian spices, creme de cassis, blackberries, and toasty
oak. This full-bodied St.-Estephe is exceptionally powerful, pure,
and dense with a layered mid-palate that builds like a skyscraper.
While there are massive tannins, they are remarkably velvety and
well-integrated in this big, backstrapping effort that should enjoy
an unusually long life." (98 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate

"The 2005 Cos d’Estournel is another great success from this
property, which is owned by Michel Reybier. A superstar of
St.-Estèphe in this vintage, this wine has a dense ruby/purple
color, beautiful, sweet cassis and blackcurrant fruit, some floral
notes, spice and a touch of oak in a full-bodied, layered,
impressive multi-dimensional style. The tannins are surprisingly
sweet and well-integrated, as is the acidity, alcohol and wood.
This is a beauty and certainly the top wine of St.-Estèphe." (97
